I would definately suggest getting the sling blade for length. I used mine sling blade last night in league. Guys were complaining about how dry the lanes were but I was playing second arrow swinging it to about 5 and the ball would just travel down the lane and then make its move. I shot 239, 245, 260. I have a 2 - 3 in pin on mine drilled with the pin above and in the middle of the finger holes and the cg straight down from the pin. Great drilling to get length along with a nice backend reaction.
